Acadian artist June Deveau re-launched her website with a significant facelift and a new CMS application. JuneDeveau.com has been hosted and developed by Innovait for the past eight years, but until now used InnovaIT's entry-level CMS (InnovaSite) for content and a custom webstore application for e-commerce. By adopting InnovaIT's higher-end CMS product (InsiteCreation), JuneDeveau.com acquires a much more powerful CMS tool, with the webstore capabilities built-in.

Ms. Deveau, a visual artist with gallery and studio in Meteghan on Nova Scotia's "French Shore", says that she is extremely pleased with the new look and feel of the site and notes that while the webstore takes some training, it will be a much more versatile tool in the long-run. In particular she likes having the power to make changes to the whole design of the site. Previously such modifications required a web developer to update backgrounds, colours, banner images and so on. She is also eager to try out the built-in newsletter capability to keep friends and patrons aware of new works and upcoming shows and exhibitions.

"It is a lot of new functionality to learn, especially for someone who struggles with some technical aspects," says the artist, "but [InnovaIT's senior partner for web development] Stephen Parsons has been incredibly patient and supportive and the new features are well worth the investment."
